    It depends where you live. But it does majorly suck when you end up needing to change your kid in a place that doesn’t have it in the men’s bathroom (I’m a dude). Hell, it happened to me over the holidays when I went out with extended family that was visiting to a nice restaurant. I was changing my daughter’s dirty diaper on the stupid little countertop area in the bathroom that had all the concierge type amenities. I just pushed all that crap into the corner to make room and one of the staff came in and gave me a look and I just commented they should install a proper changing station in the men’s bathroom in the future.

      In northern Europe they are always in the HC bathrooms. I’v never seen one inside a gendered bathroom.

        We often don’t have handicapped bathrooms, but a handicap stall in the gendered bathrooms.

        Is HC just a unisex/family bathroom or something? Those are somewhat common here in the US, but not common enough to be reliably present at commercial facilities. They’re mostly common in publicly funded buildings and/or kid oriented businesses.
